The Washington Nationals have finalized which Tuesday home games will feature free t-shirts with images of the racing presidents.

The promotion is part of T-Shirt Tuesdays, in which the first 10,000
fans to arrive at Tuesday night home games at Nationals Park receive a
free t-shirt courtesy of a Washington Nationals’ sponsor company.

All of the racing president’s T-Shirt Tuesdays are sponsored by tickets.com.

Thomas Jefferson will be featured
on T-Shirt Tuesday, June 3rd against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Abe Lincoln will be featured on T-Shirt Tuesday, July 8th against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Finally, Teddy Roosevelt will be featured on T-Shirt Tuesday, August 12 against the New York Mets.

Our first president had his big day last Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, when fans received a free t-shirt with George Washington on the back and the phrase “Who’s Your Founding Father?”

George won the presidents race on his night. Coincidence? I can’t say, but if Tom and Abe win on their t-shirt Tuesdays, I’ll be circling August 12 on my calendar.

Wouldn’t that be great? I think we need a little more momentum to build that up. Suggestions welcome!

I have been heading down the aisle by section 127 (near the finish line behind the home dugout) to cheer during the race. The presidents used to go up the aisle by section 127 after the race but MLB made them stop because it was causing the game to be delayed by something like 15 extra seconds. Now they stop and turn around right after crossing the finish line.

My son and I will be there tonight and Sunday. If you see us with our Teddy signs, please stop us and say hello!

I am pretty desperately looking for a George t-shirt to use as a gift for my three year old for a Christmas gift (to convert to a shirt that he can actually wear!)!!! Rachel, if you somehow see this, we would be happy to trade for a Tom shirt or for a “now this is a presidential race” shirt (featuring all four presidents). Anyone?
